Pros:

Clears most of redness

Cons:

Your skind could become adapted to it, Dries up skin, Could make you break out even more, the mask odor is...eww and it's EXPENSIVE

It does work at first, but once your skin gets used to it you are history! If you stop using it, you will breakout...BP bleaches shirts, towels and even your eyebrows, that's how strong is...

Pros:

Definitely cleared up a few spots, leaves your face feeling clean

Cons:

Is not meant for people with moderate to severe acne
Dried up my skin - a moisturizer is needed
Bleaches washcloths, towels

I'm sure it works well for people with light/minor acne problems. The sulfur mask seemed to work really well for me, but other than that, I was not successful with Proactiv.

Pros:

Really clean feeling after completing the three step process
Left skin really soft

Cons:

Expensive
Time Consuming 3 step process
Bleaches everything it touches

I have been using this product about 2 months. I was really impressed with the clean, soft feeling I was left with afterwards. After a few days, I noticed really dry patches on my face, so I cut back to using the product once at night. I still get the occasional spot, but my acne is hormonally controlled so its at a certain time. My only realy big complaint (besides price with S&H is $50) is that my pillow cases, towels, etc, have all been bleached. I was initially careful to try not to touch stuff with the products since it contains benzyl peroxide and that bleaches, but it is amazing how much things have been bleached! I mean, permanently ruined!

Pros:

Leaves your skin smooth,Gets rid of pimples, skin looks healthier, more confidence

Cons:

dries your skin, expensive, if you skip a step it won't work, constant use or you'll be back to were you started, doesn't remove the spots or the stains that old pimples leave

Well, i had light acne, in fact i only had pimples( but consistent ones) on one of my cheeks. My cousin gave me her proactiv kit( b/c it didn,t work for her), and told me to try it. I used it for two weeks day and night. My first week my acne got worse, but the sceond week it cleard up. My skin was smooth and pimple free. But i noticed that my skin was gettin' dryer. So, i switched from using it twice a day, to once a day at night. In the mornin i just washed my face with warm water, then applied moisturizing cream( for face) and then my sunblock.At night i did the usual proactiv process but after letting the repairin lotion dry, i applied my moisturizing cream. It worked so well for me, but i still have the spots that my old pimples left. I ran out of the toner and i skip that step and my old pimples are starting to reappear! But for the time i had all my kit, it really worked!!! Except for that stains that i couldn't get rid of!

Pros:

made my skin feel good after i got done washing it. esp with the mask, and the green tea moisterizer

Cons:

works some days, other days i wake up with more breakouts all over my face, my skin is redder than before, and i have white heads all over now.

It didnt start working for me until after a month, and it worked for a few days, then my breakouts got worse.

Pros:

Face seems clearer, acne slightly reduced but not totally.

Cons:

none so far...

ive only used it a couple weeks and it has reduced my acne a bit but hasnt really totally made it go away. when i first used it it didnt really make my skin itchy but it did burn for quite a while but i was told thats how you know it works. it has also made my skin a little more dry after, but then again all acne medications have, but i havent had the itchiness, or peeling or even signs of it like many others claim they have.
